Chelsea will have to move swiftly to set up a summer deal for Paulo Ganso after Santos promised to double his wages if he signed a new contract with them until 2016.

The 21-year old Brazil playmaker has been on Chelsea's radar during a rapid rise to prominence, and is also a target for both Milan clubs and Lyon.

But after recently admitting it would be 'a dream' to play for one of Europe's top clubs, Ganso resumed contract talks with Santos, and revealed: 'We are very close to a new agreement.'
